I'm processing a table database. To do that, I put it in a dataframe, and then I do the 
data processing (normalization of some fields). I'm used to program in C, and some R's 
facilities are not so natural to me, please, excuse me if the question is for 
"dummies".
In the processing, I want to substitute some field's value depending on the previous 
content. For example, if field starts with a digit instead of an alpha character, the 
entire field from the actual row, I'll replace it with "SOLPD". I'm sure that 
would be another way (maybe through some apply function), but I can't figure how to do.
The code that I'm using now, is:
for( i in 1:nrow(dataframe2)) {
         if(is.na(dataframe2[i,"NIF/NIE"])==FALSE){
                 if(str_locate(dataframe2[i,"NIF/NIE"],"\\d")[1]<2){
                         sprintf("elimina NIF aut�nom: % i\n",i)
                         dataframe2[i,"NIF"]<-"SLOPD"}
                 }
         }
}

Thank you for your attention!

Hi:

You may take a look at the dplyr library:

If you provide a small, reproducible example, we may provide further help.
